| Lechner to be highest paid punter ever Punter Shane Lechner has sighed a 4 year contract that is supposedly to make him the highest paid punter in NFL history. Lechler, who made $1.5 million last season, has the highest career punting average in NFL history at 46.8 yards. He led the NFL last season with a 41.2 net average, slightly bettering the NFL record he set in 2007.
This frees the club to place a franchise tag on cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. If Asomugha is tapped again, he looks to get a 20% raise to 11.7 million dollars. |
